Broad-Leaved Dock / Rumex obtusifolius leaf (upper side) showing disease symptoms - possibly from Ramularia rubella. See FOCUS note in 'description'.

---

Broad-Leaved Dock [Rumex obtusifolius] is a problem weed for farmers. It is very common and a member of the larger 'dock' family. The green leaves of this plant are what kids rub on nettle stings to alleviate the pain. The main areas of focus are the upper and lower leaf surface while the depressed 'midrib' running horizontally across the image is a little softer.
